Has happened in public hospitals but in stages...radiology has completely gone electronic, so much so polyclinics now outsource digital radiographs to India for reporting. Electronic prescribing is the norm and housemen now type their discharge summaries into the computer instead of writing them. Doctors can call up medical records of patients from a different hospital or polyclinic...private hospitals have some way to go before they can integrate their records with public hospitals but that will come.
And alot of private clinics still going the pen and paper way...
Do most Singaporeans visit private clinics or polyclinics?
Usually I visit private clinics because the queues at polyclinics are very long and really unbearable for sick people to wait.
